Sahasrara — Crown Chakra, the Thousand-Petaled Lotus

Sahasrara is not a chakra in the ordinary sense — it is where the system transcends itself. One thousand petals, beyond all elements, the point where kundalini meets Shiva, where individual consciousness dissolves into the universal. Hex 1 (The Creative) is pure yang, undifferentiated creative force — the closest the I-Ching comes to the unconditioned. Hex 64 (Before Completion) is the system's refusal to close: fire over water, everything still in motion, the sequence pointing past itself. Sahasrara is the crown that opens upward into what cannot be mapped.
